We had a small photoshoot event at Asakusa on the first weekend this month. 

It is already in the middle of rainy season, but luckily the weather was not so bad in the morning. 

Season of hydrangeas was almost over but some white ones were in full bloom along the river in Asakusa. 

The forecast said heavy rain was passing through around noon so I wore a washable yukata.

After 30 mins of shooting, the rain started to get stronger so we went to a cafe for coffee after two shooting spots. 

Summer jungle look with tint of berry. 

TOTAL LOOK.

The fabric of this yukata is super light and dries very fast so this is very comfortable for humid and rainy days. 

Shoes and hair piece.

Portraits by Photo-bee. 

The shooting was fun and it was very nice to meet new people. 

Lunch after the shooting was relaxing and we had nice Japanese style meal with homemade miso paste. It was such a healthy fun day!

<my summer sale haul>

With the rainy days, summer sales started everywhere. 

I just found the cute tote bag in my favorite color at Marc Jacobs.

Summer is finally here and hoping to get more changes to wear kimono this summer★

Happy Kimono Photoshooting☆

Last year, KIMONO BIJIN got me a chance to be a part of Halloween Kimono Look show that took place at Ueno park during Tokyo Edo Week 2017. 

Kimono girls showed off their own kimono styles on the stage and it was really nice to get to know each other through this event. 

The post about this fashion show is HERE.

This is when I met Sheila Cliff, the author of "The Social Life of Kimono".

She's from England and currently teaches English and Kimono culture at a collage in Saitama.

After Tokyo Edo Week, she contacted me on instagram and invited me to be a part of her research project "箪笥びらき The Kimono Closet" 

She's been collecting interviews of 50 women from different generations and researching what kind of kimonos they own, how they were kept in modern houses, etc...

Sheila and her photographer, Todd, came over to my place the other day, and we had so much fun through the interview and taking some photos of the kimonos I own. It was so nice to get to know them♡ 

My story on "The Kimono Closet" will be up on their website, instagram or facebook later. 

I will share their posts once they are posted. 

After the interview and having a coffee break together, we went out to take some instagram photos by the river. 

Here's one of the beautiful shots by Todd Fong♪

Isn't this so beautiful????

The color of my kimono totally matched with the yellow grass on the ground.

To invite my new friends over to my apartment for the first time, I chose to dress myself in warm colors, but still in a modern style.

My pineapple kimono♡

I always wanted to take some photos in front of this graphical art. 

Thank you for the great opportunity and looking forward to seeing my story on your website, Sheila and Todd ♡

Rainy season has come.

Before it will be harder to find a chance to wear a kimono in this season, I had some great photos taken in my summer kimono made with cotton and linen.

I wasn't expecting this look to be romantic, but the location made it look like I just came out of the sea and wandered in woods like in some fairy tale.

This look is made with everything that I love so much.!!!

The kimono from Roccoya.

CHOKO's collaged obi.

The new collar I got from Rumi Rock the other day.

A butterfly :)

Another scarf from vonschwanenflügelpupke in light blue.

More butterflies with CHOKO x agris head dress for more romantic feel.

Spacey zouris.

Clutch from NINE WEST.

I was caught getting my ig story shot 

And this is the photo I took. lol

Kinda felt like I was in some subtropical place.
